Full job description

Moloco is seeking a senior Machine Learning Engineer to design, train, and deploy large-scale ML models powering programmatic advertising and commerce media products. The role involves architecting high-performance models, maintaining scalable ML pipelines, extracting insights from large datasets, and collaborating with Product and Data Science teams to translate business goals into modeling challenges. Candidates must have 5+ years of experience delivering ML solutions in production environments, strong expertise in ML algorithms and statistics, proficiency in Python, SQL, TensorFlow or PyTorch, and experience with data processing frameworks like Spark. Responsibilities include validating models through experimentation, balancing advertiser and user experience, enhancing system reliability, driving platform evolution, optimizing performance, and mentoring the engineering team. The position offers a competitive salary range of $197,600 to $420,000 USD and benefits, with hybrid work options across Menlo Park, New York, and Seattle.

What you'll do

  • Design, train, and deploy large-scale ML models for programmatic advertising and commerce media products
  • Architect and iterate on high-performance models to improve ad relevance, click-through rates, and conversion performance
  • Productionize and maintain scalable ML pipelines from data ingestion to online inference
  • Extract insights from massive datasets to define new features and refine modeling strategies
  • Translate business goals into modeling challenges and success metrics in collaboration with Product and Data Science teams
  • Validate innovations through rigorous experimentation including A/B tests and offline evaluations
  • Balance marketplace health by harmonizing advertiser value with user experience
  • Enhance system reliability by refining feature stores, monitoring data quality, and establishing debugging practices
  • Drive platform evolution by contributing to ML tools and guidelines to increase experimentation velocity and deployment speed
  • Optimize system performance by partnering with infrastructure teams to reduce latency and improve throughput
  • Elevate technical excellence by sharing best practices and guiding technical direction of ML initiatives

Requirements

  • 5-12+ years of experience delivering ML solutions in high-stakes production environments such as Ads, Recommenders, Search, or Marketplaces
  • Strong foundation in ML and statistics applied to real-world business challenges
  • Expertise in ranking, calibration, exploration-exploitation, causal inference, or multi-objective optimization
  • Deep understanding of the end-to-end ML lifecycle including data pipelining, feature engineering, model architecture, inference optimization, and deployment
  • Proficiency in Python, SQL, TensorFlow or PyTorch, and data processing stacks like Spark, Beam, or Flink
  • Experience ensuring long-term health of ML systems in live environments, monitoring performance, diagnosing drift, and iterating based on feedback
  • Technical mentorship skills and ability to share best practices for large-scale ML systems
